Indians working overseas sent home

USD 69 billion as remittances in 2017*.

Not only does that account for 2.77% of the country’s GDP**, it places India on top of the list of countries receiving remittances from its diaspora across the globe. While this is interesting, what is more interesting is the story behind every remittance. These are stories of Hope, Happiness and Promise.

One such story is that of Sunita, a chartered accountant, who moved from Mumbai to Melbourne to pursue her career dreams. Leaving her parents and her brother behind was a tough decision since her father had retired and Sunita was the only earning member of the family. However, she could not let go of the opportunity to work in Australia. So while leaving for Australia, she made her family a promise: “I might be far away but I will always be there for you.” Sunita makes it a point to save a fixed sum of money post her expenses to send back home. She regularly sends money for household expenses, her parents’ health insurance and for her brother’s university tuition fees.

Ganpat Rao, a farmer in Bolepali village of Maharashtra, too is a happy recipient of one such promise. He was struggling with meagre yield and even lower purchase price for his crops. Every year the situation only got worse. In spite of the hardships, Ganpat Rao ensured that his son Bhale Rao got a decent education. He didn’t want Bhale to be a farmer and suffer the same fate. Ganpat Rao had to borrow money to fund his son’s education. Bhale, being a witness to his father’s struggle to get him a university degree, put his studies to good use. He landed a job in Sydney as a software developer. When he was leaving for Sydney, he made a promise to his father. “Baba, I will repay your loans and make sure you will never have to borrow money again.” Bhale keeps his promise by sending money to his father regularly through Remit2India to manage the household and farm expenses. Ganpat Rao’s loans were all repaid by his son
